| THE SPANISH WORD FOR COMPUTER |
| A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. |
"House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa".
"Pencil", however, is masculine: "el lapiz". |
| A student asked: "What gender is computer ?" |
| Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. |
| The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender "la computer", because: |
| 1 | No one but their creator understands their internal logic. |
| 2 | The native language they use to communicate with other computers is impossible to understand for everyone else. |
| 3 | Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval. |
| 4 | As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. |
| The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine "el computer", because: |
| 1 | In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on. |
| 2 | They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves. |
| 3 | They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem. |
| 4 | As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. |
| The women won. |

| There were three men at a bar. One man got drunk and started a fight with the other two men. The police came and took the drunk guy to jail. |
| The next day the man went before the judge. The judge asked the man, "Where do you work?" |
| The man said, "Here and there." |
| The judge asked the man, "What do you do for a living?" |
| The man said, "This and that." |
| The judge then said, "Take him away." |
| The man said, "Wait, judge, when will I get out?" |
| The judge said to the man, "Sooner or later..." |

| The Indians asked their Chief in autumn if the winter was going to be cold or not. Not really knowing an answer, the chief
replies that the winter was going to be cold, and that the members of the village were to collect wood to be prepared for a cold winter. |
| Being a good leader, he then went to the next phone booth and called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is this winter
to be cold?" The man on the phone responded, "This winter was going to be quite cold indeed." |
| So the Chief went back to speed up his people to collect even more wood to be prepared. A week later he called the National
Weather Service again, "Is it going to be a very cold winter?" |
| "Yes", the man replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter." So the Chief goes back to his people and
orders them to go and find every scrap of wood they can find. |
| Two weeks later he calls the National Weather Service again "Are you absolutely sure that the winter
is going to be very cold?" |
| "Absolutely, we made a study" the weather man replies, "
the Indians are collecting wood like crazy!" |

| Bill Gates is hanging out with the chairman of General Motors. |
| "If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades," boasts Gates, "you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour. Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50." |
| "Sure," says the GM chairman. "But would you really want to drive a car that crashes four times a day?" |
